Liam's mind raced as he stood in the hospital room, his eyes flicking between Aiden's bandaged form and the tense expressions of Jake and Kevin. The guild was hiding something—he was sure of it. The injuries on Aiden's body didn't match the story they were feeding Evan. They were too precise, too deliberate, as if they had been inflicted with intent. And the fact that the guild had accepted Liam, despite knowing his background and the fact that he had joined through Isolde's help, only solidified his suspicions. Ember's Dawn was shady, and he was almost certain they were involved in Aiden's condition.
But would he leave the guild? No. It didn't matter to him how corrupt or shady the guild was. All he needed was the membership card and the access to portals that would come once the guild became official. That was his goal, and he wasn't about to let morals or loyalty get in the way.
